Centipede
...Don’t listen to that centipede.
That’s not something you need.

Flies and Other Bugs
...A fly that always evades us.
We are in a rush.
With no time to kill a fly.
One that is already about to die.
So we leave it to land on the sink.
We leave the house to get away and think.

Centipedes and spiders make me jump on a chair-

velvet mites appear
roam as though lost their mates ---
blood-red carpets spread
flies sip my teacup
to get a taste of my lip ---
some linger so long
white ants don't enter
